Google's Curio-cite Explores the Hidden Marvels of Paris
Google's Street View system makes it easy for anyone with an internet connection to explore the streets of any city, but the company's new Curio-cite series uses that same technology to explore more obscure and hidden areas of one of the world's most historically and culturally important cities: Paris. Curio-cite is a series of 360 degree videos that take place in Parisian locales that people would never be able to see otherwise.
Part of Google Arts & Culture, Curio-cite follows artists, guides, and experts on journeys through hidden and "forgotten corners" of Paris, according to the Curio-site page. These include a tour of the basement of the Opera Garnier, the place that inspired 'Phantom of the Opera,' and a 13-storey condemned building that houses the world's largest street art exhibition.
